I arrived in town and called them; a lovely woman said yes I do have a room available. Centrally located, beautifully refurbished, rooms and bathroom, including a nice breakfast in the morning. You can walk to everything, Marina, restaurants, pubs, shopping, etc. and the room was only €85 for a single and they have a car parked in the back.

He asked how many we had in our party and my husband answered that we had 4 in total with a 15 month old baby. He asked if we would like the corner booth with a view of the water and we said yes. He then went to grab menus and a high chair and before he returned, a lady who came into the restaurant behind us went over and stole our booth. The waiter came back and we told him what had happened. We approached the booth to let the lady know we were there first and she refused to move, knowing that she came in after us. The waiter did nothing and sat us at a table in the very back of the restaurant, with no view. The food was good. I would say as good as the Marina Inn. However, from a service standpoint and because of this negative experience we would not return to Murphy’s Bar and will eat at the Marina Inn in the future. It’s disappointing that people can be so rude, especially seeing that we were managing a baby and were there first. Even more disappointing that the staff did nothing about it. The sign in the front says “please wait to be seated,” but this courtesy is not respected or enforced. At the end of the meal the waiter even said that this sort of thing happens all the time, which is sad.
